Carneiro wanted to avoid political crisis and proposes "improving the budget" during the specialty phase

The Socialist Party (PS) has decided to abstain from the vote on the 2027 State Budget, allowing the government's proposal to pass the general debate. The PS leader announced that the party will now seek to introduce amendments during the 'specialty' stage of the legislative process, focusing on cost of living and housing measures, while monitoring the government's adherence to commitments made to the PS.
